Synopsis

• Voted one of the year's best books by The Straits Times (1997).A rousing first poetry collection from Aaron Lee. A Visitation of Sunlight is divided into two sections: ‘Night’s Long Road’ and ‘A Visitation of Sunlight’, which make up the metaphor of a journey from darkness to light, from uncertainty to insight. Aaron maps out in lucid, measured language the contours of the ordinary and extraordinary landscape of the world he finds himself.

Each poem deepens and extends the poet’s vision and he invites the reader to participate in this journey of discovery—a journey marked by an illumination of the ordinary and one to uncover and chart the “laws of light and dark” which govern experience and its movements and rhythms.
